- LOS ANGELES — Country
music icon Dolly Parton said that she’s always wanted to see a remake of the
1980s comedy classic “9 to 5”. However, she doesn’t plan to star in the
upcoming movie starring Jennifer Aniston.
-
- In the original, the country music icon starred as Doralee
Rhodes, alongside Lily Tomlin as Violet Newstead and Jane Fonda as Judy Bernly.
-
- “Jane, Lily and I have been trying for years to try to come
up with a 9 to 5: Two through the years,” Parton told HuffPost, reports
people.com.

- She added: “It never happened.”
-
- Now, over four decades later, a remake may actually be in
the works courtesy Aniston.
-
- Despite Aniston wanting to include all three of the original
actresses in the film’s remake, Parton told the HuffPost that she’s not sure
that is going to happen.
-
- The “Jolene” hitmaker said: “We have no plans to be in that.
But I do wish her the best, because the script I read, I thought, was really
good and a new and different take that really brings the office up to date the
way that people live now.”
-
- “But I think a lot of it is that, you know, we’re all older
now,” Parton told the outlet.
-
- She added: “We’re not gonna look that good on the big
screen. All of us up there with all those beautiful, young, fresh people ... so
I don’t know.”
-
- Although the original Rhodes actress likely won’t be making
an appearance on the big screen she has offered up her vocals for the remake
since she and Aniston “have been friends through the years.”
-
- “I told her, I said, 'you’re more than welcome to use my
song ‘9 to 5,’ and if you need some additional songs, or if you need the ‘9 to
5’ song rewritten or reworked, you know, to do that,'” Parton said about her
conversation with Aniston.
